Cpl. David Wayne Moss Street

Wow, I am So amazed...yesterday went exceedingly well. I was so pleased with the memorial and the naming, the folks that organized this did a Splendid job. Thank you.

20 Year Anniversary Memorial

Ok, looks like it's all going as planned. The council did indeed vote to name the street and I now have a framed copy of the resolution which Debra read at the meeting. The time and date are set - 9am on the 30th at the PD. The books are showing delivered at 3:02 today - we will have them when we get home. I LOVE it when a plan comes together!!! lol

David's Memorial Update

Well, next week is the memorial…it looks like they are going to follow thru and name a street after David. I think that is a really nice gesture. I’m not sure at this juncture, just what is going to be going on that day – 7/30 – but I believe it will be at 9am at the Police Department, probably by the flag. We will have a piper present; I’m pretty sure, courtesy of the Alachua County Fire Rescue. Beyond that I haven’t a clue…hopefully Trav can figure out a way to tape/photograph it and I can add a snippet or two here. I think the book will be here by then, we got the first drafts last week and ended up sending it back for revision…not a big surprise, but a little stressful as there is so little time left and anything can happen during shipping…but I have faith and I will relax and let God lead the way. I think it’s kinda kewl – and I am excited to see the final product and peoples reactions, and to hear their thoughts on all the hard work he put in on that book…I’m SO proud of him!!!



Anyway, I’ll update when they come in and as we get more info…

Third of July

Here in the beautiful city of Williston, we celebrate the Fourth of July on the 3rd. This has been going on for a long long time now, and most folks are pretty used to it by now. Normally we do not go to the parade or the fireworks, partly cuz we are anti social and partly cuz we work full time lol. This year we made it to both...but not as spectators...we were there in the capacity of volunteers for the Williston Police Department. Helping out with keeping folks off the street during the parade and then helping to direct the traffic out of the Horseman's park after it was all over. I don't know about you, but I think it's fun to do stuff like that...it gets me out of the office/and the house, I get to play with some really cool toys and Everyone gets to say Hi. Kinda nice change of pace...good thing it only happens once a year!!!!

Hope your Fourth was happy and safe. And a Great Big THANK YOU to all of you who help(ed) make this a free country and are keeping it that way.

Later

Pictures

ok, here they are - to most of you this will still look like a disaster in the making, but to those that know me - it will look like paradise lol.

and of course, I could never feel completely comfortable without a companion, and here you see Lover Boy, he has been our friend for over 15 years now, and we are SO blessed to be able to share our lives with him.

Update on craft room

I managed to get my lazy butt into the craft room last night and got a lot done. I think that I will take some pictures tonight and share them with you. I know there are no 'before' shots, never did get there, but, the 'after' ones will be good enough to give you an idea of the space and how I have finally got it set up to actually get some work done in there. It isn't done, it may Never be done...but it is really far into 'on it's way'. I'll post pics tonight. Thanks for joining me on this journey into the land of semi-organization, hope you had fun!!! lol

and Another giveaway

ok, somehow I am managing to come across a number of blog giveaways this week, so I am posting the ones I find..hope you enjoy them.


Very Mary is giving away a flat rate box of 'stuff' from her attic.

Another giveaway

Another blog giveaway...this one is a trifle different as it involves praying/worship. That is not something I talk about much on here, most people think of me as someone to read to get a good laugh, or groan as the case may be, but there is more to it then that. If you read back thru this blog you will find a couple of posts that reveal the depth of my belief. You might not have seen it as that, but if you stop and think about the stuff that has happened, you will realize that I could not have made it thru those alone. They take a great deal of strength and that is a strength that I do not possess - I just borrow it - and who else would I get it from? Exactly!! God is my trainer and he has built up my spiritual muscles over the years with strenuous exercises in reliance and submission. Anyways, this is just to let you know about a giveaway here and to encourage you to go check it out. Personally I don't want you to, cuz then you will enter and my chances of winning go down proportionally, but, HE wants me to send you there, so, guess who wins? You got it!!! So GO!!! lol
